Good tip on the GGS sealant. Last public statement from Luke regarding the company was on the final video on his KZbin Channel. He said that he as giving up the channel and withdrawing from the company. AFAIK the company continues to be a family affair but without his direct involvement.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Yeah, I saw that last video, but I hope he has some remuneration from it anyway.

Enthusiastically "second" the Geek Gaming Scenics sealant (although it's obviously not as strong as a Storm of Steel Seal of Approval! 😛). I used it with an eye dropper when sealing the bases of a bunch of 15mm figures. Very easy to work with and it works like gangbusters. Another second for Dex's AAR - good stuff. Really like the look of the Italian-themed buildings shown in the O-Group pictures!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, those buildings were originally done for Infamy, Infamy!

I use the spray very impressed too. I find the spray a bit wild and waste a lot so I’ve started using screwing the spray and just dabbing it on with an old brush 👍🏻

I've bought a few bits from Kristoff Designs and found them to be good quality and with a little work can look great.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

They are excellent!

[@robandrosehobden3344]

Great video

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you!

Bridges look smashing, the weather on the supports really transforms the mdf. Would they scale ok for 1/72? Just starting a Tomorrow's War (AA Games) near future campaign set in a speculative collapsed Russian federation, admist an emerging US/China conflict. Warlords, secessionist movements, PMCs, NATO, PLA etc all mashed in a landscape of anarchy and a race to secure nukes and resources. Using 1/72 to take a bodgy cheap approach with kits, OO gauge stuff, repurposed die cast etc.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers man, yeah, I think it would well with 1/72nd and it'd fit that theme very well. The kit just needs a bit of muckying up.

Checked out the Malaya report, seems like you lost it when you suffered heavy casualties a few scenarios ago. Glad you guys enjoyed it. Your tables throughout were top notch, great scenic work, dude. Hope you managed to cast your eye over the small, (but bloody heavy) Gaines Mill table I brought down on Thursday. Would appreciate any critique, tips, etc for when I repeat the build on the 6x4 Chancellorsville table for Joy of Six 2025. You have been doing this far longer than I. Anyway, good report, see ya soon.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Dave, glad you enjoyed the video. I did see the table you made and I think it was pretty smart!

[@ShaunTame-re5us]

Enjoyable vid, thank you.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@theDexMcHenry]

Cheers Alex. That O'Group table looks nice. Where did you source the Infamy buildings? I enjoyed the campaign too. The new Far East Handbook supercharges the Japanese specifically, and the game generally, I think. I am sure you will get your revenge for the Malaya campaign with the Jitra one. Also, if you need to get rid of any M113s I am sure I can find an AK47 home for them! ;-)

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Dex, LOL, if I need to offload a couple I'll send them your way!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Also, the buildings are from Warbases in their Roman period ranges.
